Chapter 343: A Robot!
The fortress was shaking violently. Countless amounts of seawater mixed with rocks came pouring down, instantly drowning the city that had just surfaced.
Xia Fei had one hand on the wall, his eyes fixed on that sealed door that would decide his life and death. Though the seawater was not enough to make Xia Fei submit, he was helpless against the countless rocks and sand that were flying at him.
Fortunately, this door made by the ancient civilization was very sturdy, and this square and inconspicuous fortress was also very sturdy. It only shook a little with the arrival of the huge waves before returning to silence.
"That was close." Letting out a long sigh, Phantom clutched his chest and said, "If I had been a minute later, I would have been buried under the sea."
Xia Fei's expression was not relaxed. "Though we've saved our lives, all the exits have been sealed. We only have two options now: either we find our own way out, or we wait for someone to rescue us." Phantom was speechless.
Phantom was speechless. How could it be easy to rescue them when faced with hundreds of millions of tons of sand and sand? Even if the Adjudicator Union could mobilize the most advanced underwater engineering ships, it would not be easy. As for finding a way out himself, that was something that required even more luck.
Raising his head and looking around, Xia Fei indeed needed to think about how to get out, but he could not forget that there were others who had entered this building before him. Whether they were friend or foe, or what their cultivation was, was still an unknown.
There were many rooms, and the corridors were long and narrow.
Xia Fei circulated his Breath Control technique as he made his way through.
From the layout of the rooms, this seemed to be a normal office, used for administrative work.
Xia Fei did not forget to put away the valuable ancient civilization office equipment as he searched. If he could really get out of this place, he would be able to exchange these items for quite a few good things.
There were plenty of rich people who would collect or use the ancient civilization's equipment as a form of pride. Only fools would sell these things for money. Their greatest use was to exchange for items that were equally valuable but more useful to Xia Fei.
However, once equipment and weapons reached a certain level, they would no longer be worth money, and bartering was the right way to go.
"Bloodstain!" Xia Fei's heart skipped a beat as he squatted down to check.
All he saw was a drop of fresh blood on the alloy floor. From the way the blood dripped, it seemed that the injured person was desperately trying to escape, which was why the oval-shaped drop of blood had a clear sense of direction.
His finger gently touched the blood. It seemed to be a little warm. It seemed that the attack had just happened.
That was when a cleaning robot that was only the height of a forearm came sweeping over from afar. It was not afraid to see Xia Fei, turning its two rubber wheels as it slowly made its way over to Xia Fei, cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground.
"Robot?! Why didn't it attack you? "Gui Ying asked curiously.
Legend had it that the robots had betrayed mankind, and it was their mission to destroy the existence of mankind, but this little guy didn't seem to have any evil intentions.
Xia Fei picked him up and used his two hands to fiddle with his back.
"A semi-intelligent model. It can carry out human commands, but it doesn't have artificial intelligence components like intelligence and emotions."
Phantom nodded. Legend had it that the ones who had truly betrayed humanity were the advanced models of robots with artificial intelligence. It seemed that this saying was true. After all, this cleaning robot did not have any malicious intent. It was like a sophisticated robot toy. It was just that after so many years, this little robot was still operating. One could not help but marvel at the advanced technology of the ancient civilization.
Xia Fei turned off the robot's power system and placed it together with the ancient instruments he had just obtained.
'The Impaler often doesn't have anyone to clean it. Keeping it around can be used as a cleaner,' Xia Fei thought to himself.
Cleaning had always been the nightmare of men, and Xia Fei was no exception. This was especially so after his warship had been modified to become a complete mess. There were many places that humans would find it very difficult to get in and clean, and this little robot could be put to good use.
A robot that would serve him twenty-four hours a day, the interior of the warship as clean as new, and he did not need to do anything at all. Just thinking about it made Xia Fei smile.
"This cleaning robot probably followed the bloodstains all the way here. If we follow its tracks, we'll be able to find the person who left the bloodstains," Phantom sternly said.
Xia Fei nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something that he had neglected. "Little robot! Little Furball! Furball! "
"Furball's still in my arms! I was in the deep sea for a long time. I don't know if it's dead or not! "
Xia Fei was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly took the little creature out of his arms. Furball was about the size of an egg, and its body was as soft as a sponge. He did not feel anything when he carried it in his arms, so Xia Fei often forgot that there was a life hidden in his arms!
Furball was still snoring away, seemingly unresponsive to the seawater.
Furball turned around and spat out a mouthful of seawater. After that, it gave Xia Fei a sly look with its beady eyes as it continued its sweet dream.
Xia Fei was speechless. It turned out that this fellow was not afraid of high pressure or seawater at all. In the deep sea, the water pressure had made Xia Fei's bones creak, but this fellow felt nothing at all. Who knew where it had learned this ability?
Putting Furball away, Xia Fei carefully made his way along the corridor, using the surrounding terrain to hide his tracks.
The sounds of fighting could be heard in the distance. It seemed like a large group of people were fighting for their lives.
"Eh? Could there be more than four intruders? "
Xia Fei took two quick steps and leaned over, hiding by the door to watch.
He saw that this was a room used to store the core machines, and in the center was a large circular machine working. Several humans were fighting with a group of ten-some robots!
Shock!
Extreme shock!
Xia Fei could never have imagined that he would encounter the legendary rebellious robots here!
Judging from their models, these robots attacking the humans were all AI robots that specialized in security and defense. Their hands were as sharp as scalpels, and if one were to be struck by these blades, even the strongest combat suit would not be able to withstand it.
The four humans who were being attacked were trapped in a corner, back to back. One of them was an old acquaintance of Xia Fei's, Clean Knife!
He was holding the silver butterfly knife in a reverse grip, and his other hand was holding a shield-shaped alloy steel plate. The plate was covered in obvious knife marks, most likely left behind when he blocked the attacks of the enemies.
The other three were a beautiful woman in her thirties and two burly men with bronze skin. One of them had been hit in the left arm by a robot's weapon, and though he had used a cloth to bandage the wound, it was still bleeding profusely.
The four of them were using their abilities to fight against the ten-some robots. These robots were combat models, so they had very strong defenses. Normal attacks would not be fatal, but their attacks against humans were extremely effective. Simple cold weapons, coupled with the advanced hydraulic transmission system, made every attack extremely powerful.
* Bang! *
One of the burly men was pierced through the chest by a robot's knifehand, and the remaining force sent him flying several dozen meters back before he slammed into a metal cabinet with a loud bang, the metal cabinet sinking in as a result.
With a grunt, the burly man's eyes rolled back, and he died on the spot. All the bones in his body had most likely been shattered by that one blow.
Clean Knife gritted his teeth and said to the beautiful woman, "Sanniang, cover me!"
The beautiful woman nodded. With a flick of her wrist, she pulled out a directional explosive grenade and threw it in front of her.
The directional grenade would attack in a specific direction, and the user would not be harmed. It was standard equipment for the military's special forces.
* Bang! *
Instantly, flames shot into the sky!
The powerful impact sent seven or eight robots flying more than ten meters away!
Clean Knife used this opportunity to use his Butterfly Ten-steps, pulling the remaining dozen or so robots into his domain.
A total of seventeen or eighteen robots were taken away by Clean Knife, and the pressure on the woman and the burly man was greatly reduced. They gathered their spirits and fought the enemies with all their might, relying on two sneak attacks to heavily injure two robots, causing them to lose their ability to fight.
"What should we do?" Phantom asked in a deep voice.
Xia Fei's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Let them fight it out, of course, while we clean up the mess."
Phantom chuckled. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. No matter what good stuff they find, it'll still end up in your pocket in the end. Sinister. Truly sinister."
Xia Fei's plan was very good, but things did not go the way he had envisioned.
There was more than one path leading to this mechanical room, and a robot came swaggering in from the opposite door. This robot was even shorter than the cleaning robot from before, and it had the appearance of a water droplet, using magnetic levitation to move around.
Its head was drooping, seemingly very unhappy.
The battle between the humans and the robot guards in the room had caught its attention, and it was stunned for a moment before it charged forward with all its might!
"Humanity is under threat! Dou Dou must protect humanity! "
"Stop! Robots can't attack humans! "
Even the man and woman fighting in the room were stunned, thinking, 'Didn't robots betray humanity a long time ago?'
* Bang! *
The weak robot Dou Dou was no match for those valiant combat robots. One of the combat robots waved its hand and knocked him to the side, a dent appearing on its beautiful milky-white outer shell.
The little robot Dou Dou quickly got up. "Bad guy! You're all bad robots! Dou Dou will never allow you to harm humans! "
The pitiful and weak robot did not have any combat ability, so it could only lower its head and use all its strength to ram its head.
* Bang! *
This ram was quite forceful, causing one of the combat robots to stagger, losing its balance and falling to the ground. Meanwhile, Dou Dou sat on the ground in a daze, his eyes seeing stars.
The combat robot was enraged, and with bloodshot eyes, it viciously slashed at Dou Dou!
The blade pierced through its chest and came out from behind!
* Whoosh! * The combat robot sheathed its blade, and sparks appeared on Dou Dou's chest, his green eyes gradually dimming.
He used both hands to grab one of the combat robot's legs, his voice getting lower and lower as he said, "Robots must obey the orders of humans, and robots must protect the safety of humans."
* Slap! *
The combat robot viciously slapped Dou Dou to the ground!
After rolling dozens of times on the ground, Dou Dou barely managed to get up and stubbornly said, "Humans are under threat, so Dou Dou must protect humans at all costs!"
Xia Fei was stunned. He did not know how to express the complicated feelings in his heart. Was this a human or a robot?
* Bang! *
Dou Dou charged forward again and again, only to be knocked to the ground by his own comrades time and time again.
This unyielding spirit made Xia Fei involuntarily think of the strongest life force that humans could muster when they were on the verge of death.
"Protect humans! Robots must protect humans!" Dou Dou's voice became weaker as the energy in his body drained away. The wound on his chest had destroyed half of his energy system.
Just because it was a human being who was being hunted, this little robot had to protect them at all costs. Was it really worth it?
* Bang! *
Dou Dou was knocked to the ground by the combat robot once more. He struggled to get up from the ground.
His energy had already weakened to the point where he could no longer keep floating in the air, so he used both his hands to drag his body out, muttering in a barely audible voice, "Protect humans. Dou Dou must protect humans. Protect … Protect …"
Phantom looked at Xia Fei, and it was obvious from his eyes that he could no longer bear to watch any longer.
How could Xia Fei not be the same?
All of a sudden!
Clean Knife's barrier had been broken, and the remains of several Robot Warriors lay strewn across the ground. It looked like he had killed them all, but Clean Knife himself had also suffered severe injuries as a result. Blood flowed continuously from his face and his sleeves.
Xia Fei did not care about him. Instead, he stared at Dou Dou, who was crawling on the ground, muttering in his heart, 'Fool! Don't go over there anymore! '
However, Dou Dou's stubbornness made his heart palpitate. He kept saying that he would protect humans at all costs, his two robotic arms trembling as he pushed his body forward.
"Go to hell! Die, all of you! "
Xia Fei's anger finally turned into rage!
Gripping Celestial Moon in his hand, Xia Fei charged forward with uncontrollable rage!
"I can't watch this any longer either! Hurry up and kill them! Kill them all! "Phantom was just as furious as he was.
…
A few moments later, there were only three people and a small robot left in the room.
Xia Fei placed Lil Pea flat on the floor and took out all the tools he had from his spatial ring, preparing to perform an emergency repair on Lil Pea. Not far away, that beautiful woman called Sanniang and Clean Knife were supporting each other. They were both heavily injured and had already lost the ability to continue fighting.
Clean Knife was not much of a threat, and Xia Fei still had many questions he wanted to ask him, which was why he had spared his life. However, before that, he wanted to repair Dou Dou as soon as possible.
Sanniang thought for a moment before walking over to Xia Fei's side and saying, "Little brother, thank you for saving us."
Before she could even finish her sentence, a silver light suddenly flashed past, directly slicing her throat open. Fresh blood bloomed like a flower in the summer, abruptly bursting forth.
